Coldplay, Bono Give Radio 1 DJ Jo Whiley Emotional Send-Off

March 28, 2011
Coldplay, Bono Give Radio 1 DJ Jo Whiley Emotional Send-OffColdplay and U2's Bono were amongst the stars to praise radio DJ Jo Whiley.

The DJ was given a celebrity-packed send-off as she left Radio 1 after seventeen years.

"Thanks for the messages. To be part of people's lives is all you can ask for as a DJ," Whiley told radio listeners.

Bono made a surprise phone call to the show: "You should be carried around the BBC in a chair with people throwing flowers at your feet."

Coldplay, Foo Fighters and Klaxons also performed.
